34 WINNETKA TALK April 28, 1928 Arden Shore Invites Friends to Annual rr Graduates of Arden Shore Winter Camp in Reunion May 6 By JEAN TEN BROECK Another infallible sign of spring on the north shore is the Arden Shore Homecoming. This week we put our- selves in the form of an invitation to urge you, the public, friends of Arden Shore, to betake yourselves to the encampment on Sunday, May 6, to participate in an all-day festivity of annual pleasure to those boys who came to the winter camp undernourish- ed and undersized, to be graduated, (for the camp holds real commence- ment exercises for those who have gained the health requirements,) in fine physical condition, trained and ready to meet the standards of the board of education and to seek em- ployment. Four hundred boys now are gradu- ates of Arden Shore Winter camp and they come from near and far again to gather with their friends for a day of reunion. Arden Shore means much to them. Their clear color and sparkling eyes proclaim it. The songs they sing express it. Their manly spirit betells it. The committees of women in our north shore villages, sincere ' in their friendship for these boys as is shown in their ceaseless efforts in their behalf, know that to many what the eye sees makes a deeper impression than any amount of information glean- ed in other ways, so they, members of the Arden Shore association, extend to you this invitation to come to the camp and see for yourselves what Arden Shore does. We have seen some of these boys, heard them them- selves tell what the camp has done in each individual case, and we know. The boys come out from the city in buses for their day's homecoming. Dinner is served, and supper, too, if they wish to remain. And you, their guests, will hear the program that is planned, and will be served with deli- cious home made sandwiches, tea, and coffee during the afternoon. The re- freshments are supplied by a committee composed of groups of association members living in the north shore villages. : Arden Shore wants its friends to know it. Your own committee is anxious that its village be well repre- sented. The day is Sunday, May 6. Hear of Cradle Progress Mrs. W. B. Walrath of the Evans- ton board gave an interesting talk at the spring meeting of the Winnetka board of the Cradle Maisonette last Tuesday. Mrs. Walrath talked about the growth of the Cradle and cited several interesting recent cases. Lunch- eon was served. Mrs. Clifford Off, 150 Linden avenue, will be the member of the Winnetka board who will serve tea at the Cradle Maisonette next Tuesday. Marry Tonight The wedding of Miss Elinor Wood- ward and Ansel McBride Kinney is taking place this evening at 8:30 o'clock, at the Winnetka Congregation- al church.

Her daughter-in-law, Andreina Materassi Barton, gave a delightful program during the afternoon. Head Committee for Arden Shore Drive Photo by Reick MRS. ROBERT BIDDLE Beidler Studios MRS.
